Dosing ewes

[Matty6270]

H. I'm going dosing ewes now in a weeks time. I'm going to give them endofluke and a vitamin dose. Is there any pour I could use like spot on to prevent any itching at lambing. I got a dung sample back in September and the ewes had some worms and slight fluke. The vet then give me ad ex 2.5.
Or any other cheap options to go with altogether.

If you're meaning 'lice' itchy , run a line of Crovect along , but need right applicator gun and the straight nozzle . Endofluke won't hit worms ...... Why not Endospec , but at the higher fluke dose rate ?? May sort out what doesn't sound too mega issue .

Ok so endosperm will cover both fluke and worm, is convect similar to spot on

Would it be a good idea to do all ewes with spot on at scanning

Maybe it's luck, but ewes here only need fluke dose of supaverm drench + 5ml of spot-on between the shoulder blades on housing.

Covers most things. As part of the holding is flukey, they'll have already had a dose of fassinex before tupping - which might be a little unconventional.

Endosperm.....that's a new one!

Ok I’m thinking off going with endofluke and ivomec classic and a vitamin dose.
